When mounting a TV, mirror, shelf, or any other item onto a wall, finding the right spot is crucialāespecially if you’re dealing with metal studs. For many, the challenge lies in locating those elusive metal studs behind drywall without damaging the wall or compromising the stability of the mount.Ā
Why Metal Studs Can Be Tricky
Metal studs are a staple in modern construction, particularly for drywall installations. Unlike wooden studs, metal studs are lighter, thinner, and often hidden beneath layers of drywall, making them difficult to locate. Traditional stud finders arenāt always reliable for detecting metal, and guesswork often leads to holes in the wrong places.
This can make the entire mounting process feel like an overwhelming DIY nightmare. But fear not! With the right technique and tools, mounting onto metal studs can be as easy as pie.

If youāre determined to locate your metal studs, we recommend using aĀ magnetic stud finderĀ alongside Elephant Anchors. Magnetic stud finders detect the screws holding the drywall to the studs, making them perfect for metal stud detection. Once you locate the general area, you can use Elephant Anchors to secure your mount with confidence.
Pro Tip:
When using a stud finder, move it slowly along the wall and mark the detected spots. Confirm the stud’s position by tapping lightly on the wall. A hollow sound indicates drywall, while a firm, solid sound indicates a stud.
